In a period marked by a profound religious, economic, and cultural transformation, Bruegel offered his sophisticated urban audience complex biblical images that required an engaged, active viewing, not only sparking learned dinner conversations, but facilitating the negotiation of values seen as critical to maintaining a harmonious society. By considering the novelty of Bruegel?s panels used in convivia alongside his small, intimate grisaille compositions, this study ultimately shows that Bruegel renewed the idiom of religious painting, successfully preserving its ritualistic and meditative functions. 410 0$aArt and Material Culture in Medieval and Renaissance Europe;$vvolume15. 606 $aPainting, Netherlandish$xThemes, motives 606 $aConversation 606 $aDinners and dining$zBelgium$zAntwerp$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aArt and society$zBelgium$zAntwerp$xHistory$y16th century 607 $aAntwerp (Belgium)$xIntellectual life$y16th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPainting, Netherlandish$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aConversation. 615 0$aDinners and dining$xHistory 615 0$aArt and society$xHistory 676 $a759.9493 700 $aKaminska$b Barbara A.$01068678 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511805703321 996 $aPieter Bruegel the Elder$92553675 997 $aUNINA
